Penn’s Division of Public Safety encourages you to provide personal emergency contact information for use with the UPennAlert Emergency Notification System & Penn Guardian. Partner with Penn by providing a phone number (preferably a cell phone) where you can best be reached. You can also register parents or guardians, so University officials can communicate with them as well.
Register for UPennAlert: From Penn InTouch select Profile, privacy & emergency, then Emergency
Register for Penn Guardian at: http://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/pennguardian/

The University generally cannot, by federal law (FERPA), discuss your academic or financial records with a third party, including your parents. To authorize Penn to share academic/financial data with a parent, guardian, sponsor or other party, you must designate them explicitly.
From Penn InTouch, select Profile, privacy & emergency, then Share Academic/Financial Information.

Penn.Pay is Penn’s electronic billing and payment system. As a student, you can access Penn.Pay with your Penn.Key. To enable others (such as your parents) to also receive and/or pay your bill, and view new activity on a daily basis, you must ‘invite’ them as an ‘other payer’
From Penn InTouch, select Student Billing Account, then Paying Your Bill/Penn.Pay.

We encourage you to enroll in direct deposit, as you may receive wages from a work-study job, other campus employment, or receive a student account refund or other reimbursements. Direct deposit ensures your funds will be deposited to your personal US bank account. If you do not enroll and subsequently earn wages or become eligible for a refund, payment will be made via a VISA® debit card. Enroll as soon as possible, using a bank local to Penn, or one of your own choosing (the University will accept only one direct deposit account per student).
From Penn InTouch, select Student Billing Account, then Enroll in Direct Deposit.
